Wallpaper - Sino Shapes White

Designed by Mary Urban, our Sino Shapes White wallpaper pairs a classic trellis structure with the organic character of painted bamboo poles. Deep navy blue diagonal canes interlock across a clean white background, creating an open diamond geometric lattice with a distinct watercolour-like appearance. The tonal variations in the indigo blue brushstrokes bring subtle depth to the clean lines, giving the traditional trellis pattern an airy, tailored feel. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, this design offers a refined graphic balance that brings architectural rhythm to your interior.

In the room

The open geometric lattice works exceptionally well across smaller or utility spaces where you want crisp visual structure without cluttering the eye. We particularly like this design in a bathroom, mudroom, or laundry room, where the clear white background and balanced trellis create a fresh, orderly feel. Because the diamond repeat is open and breathable, it easily wraps around corners and accommodates walls broken up by cabinetry, mirrors, and doors without losing its cohesive rhythm.

In an entryway or mudroom, we would use it across all four walls above classic painted panelling or alongside crisp white woodwork. The defined diagonal lines draw the gaze upwards, making practical transitional areas feel considered and architecturally grounded.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this wallpaper with tailored, heritage-inspired elements that mirror its classic lines. Darker wood tones such as antique mahogany or rich walnut bring warmth against the crisp navy and white lattice, highlighting the colonial and chinoiserie character of the motif.

For surrounding hardware and fixtures, unlacquered brass or polished nickel provides a sharp, traditional contrast to the painted bamboo geometry. Keep large textiles simple in natural, solid weaves so the graphic trellis remains the primary focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a two-tone palette of rich navy blue against a bright neutral white ground. The watercolour variation within the blue canes introduces soft tonal shifts from midnight indigo to denim tones.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding trim, ceiling, and woodwork, a clean, chalky white maintains the crisp clarity of the pattern. If you want a more enveloping, heritage feel, colour-matching adjacent wall panelling, architraves, or vanity units to a deep navy blue grounds the space beautifully while framing the wallpaper.
